Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

This is one of the many buildings among the Los Angeles Music Center. I have always wanted to see it in person and it was wonderful to see it. It opened in Sept of 1964, it seats 3,197 people and has been the site of the Academy Awards from 1969-87. It still serves many musical venues. Our next trip will hopefully be able to explore this center.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

I have always wanted to see this and it is spectacular. Designed by architect Frank Gehry that seats 2,265 people. It just stands out among so many other historical buildings. We didn't get to go over and explore since we had so many other things to see. It is on our next agenda. Still it was wonderful to see it.

Located on 111 South Grand Avenue Los Angeles, Ca 90012
